Specialties that raise your rate

• Legal and court interpreting

  Courts pay well and screen carefully. Some provinces run their own accreditation test.

• Medical interpreting

  Hospitals and clinics. High stakes, often on call.

• Conference interpreting

  Simultaneous work from a booth. The hardest branch and the best paid.

• Technical and financial translation

  Patents, engineering, annual reports. Fewer people can do it, so it pays more.
